Man Runs Around Tokyo, Creates Giant Apple Logo Tribute to Steve Jobs

By ( ) Comments

People around the world have expressed their feelings about Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO of Apple in different ways. Tech bloggers have written innumerable speculative treatises on the future of the company, and the twitterverse hase been abuzz with many a snarky comment. Joseph Tame, a UK native living in Japan, took a different approach. Tame decided to run a 13 mile outline of the Apple logo over the city of Tokyo, and mapped his progress using the GPS capabilities of his iPhone(s).

On his blog, Tame writes that his life has been vastly improved by Apple products produced under Jobs’ reign. He calls his iPhone a lifeline saying it allows him to accomplish things beyond his abilities. Whether that’s fanboy-talk or just a frank admission is hard to say, but Tame admits that he’s paid hefty cancelation fees to keep up with all the latest iPhone iterations.

This isn’t the first time Tame has painted pictures with his footsteps. His previous works include Hello Kitty, his own name, and a baby elephant.  Hopefully Steve gets the message.

    As great as Steve is in innovation, intelligence and the fact that he is another person that proved formal education does not mean intelligence. Apple employes slaves in China. These are the facts. Like or not. A great man with a sad, sadistic and unreported facts about his company.  All the money in the world won’t buy back your soul Steve. I guess his health is a good ironic twist. I hope he rots. Here is a question for you Steve. Why are there record suicides at your apple plants in China? Why are people who work there can’t feed their children? and your sitting on more money then the US Treasury? This man who ran around Tokyo should be quickly executed with his entire family for being one of the most ignorant people on the planet.

    Wow way to be tolerant there buddy, execute a fan for liking steve jobs? Sounds like your soul needs to be redeemed as well.

    @Zues, you are going way off the deep end here! If you did any fact checking at all you would see that the company Apple uses to manufacture products isn’t owned by Apple.  In fact, the plant that had the suicides also manufactures for a ton of other companies including but not limited to HP, Acer, Asus, and more.  So since you’re ignorant, maybe we should take you out and execute you because clearly you are one of the most ignorant people on the planet?

    Even if I was to agree with all you said about Apple (Jobs) labor practices in China, I think you are the type of person we should be concerned and afraid of.  Your self-righteousness combined with your psychopathic tendencies is chillingly similar to so many whose name does not deserve to be repeated and who lead genocide and mass murder throughout history.

    I am sure many of those Chinese workers would agree that they would rather work for Steve Jobs than for someone like you.  I am sure he never suggested executing one of his employees and his/her entire family for taking a run around the block…

    @seth thanks for setting the record straight. Though he brings up some good points, Zues is way off base for the context of this story. My life, as well as others, have changed forever with the technology that has been introduced by Apple.

  • Seeing Both Sides

    Over the last 10 years the largest migration in human history has taken place in China (in 2006 it was 120 million people) and this migration occurred willingly by Chinese farming poor moving from the rural rice patties to the provinces with factories so they make a better life for their families.  Compared to America, China’s work conditions and pay rates are certainly dramatically inferior.  But life in factories like Apple’s OEMs is a big step up for the Chinese that work there. 
     
    While I laud those who promote improved working conditions around the world… and there is much to be done here… we must remember that the factories that are providing the jobs that the Chinese people crave, are overall making things BETTER for a group of people whose previous lives have frequently left them at the point of starvation.

    You’re an ignorant scumbag who is trying to sound intelligent. Execution? You’re a moron.

    Actually, perhaps you should be executed for being one of the most ignorant people on the planet.

    Apple does not own any factories in China.

    And the same factories that produce Apple products also produce products for HP and many of the worlds major computer companies as well.

    If you have a problem with the conditions in the factories in China, go and complain to the Chinese owners of the factories.

    ì just got an iPad 2-32GB for $ 22.54 and my girlfriend loves her Panasonìc Lumìx GF 1 Camera that we got for $ 38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $ 657 which only cost me $ 62.81 tobuy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, http://shr.tn/Zl26
